SPOILER!!: Individual Replies!

SPOILER!!: Kyle!

Planty. Camilla didn't think this was a true word but she knew what Kyle was saying and that was what mattered. "Very good. This does suck up the CO2 in the tank and release oxygen back into the water."

SPOILER!!: Kitty!

"That's perfectly alright not to know what this is. It is something like a sponge but not exactly, good guess though," she smiled warmly glad that even though the seventh year didn't know she had tried.

SPOILER!!: Olivia!

Camilla nodded. "They are a type of algae," she smiled. What type they would get to shortly unless someone actually knew what it was.

SPOILER!!: Derf!

Professor Stewart was more then willing to help him vanish the orange planty straw things should no one else do but she was going to wait another moment. The young boys knowledge on what the green ball was surprised her and made her smile widely. "That is correct! They are also more commonly known as just moss balls but they are indeed Marimo Moss Balls." All the reasons he had given were exactly why they would be using them in today's lesson.

SPOILER!!: Jessa!

The noises all around her began to fade, that same remote that slowed everything seeming to turn the volume down while it was at it.

In the back of her mind, she was aware of Derf’s plight and would naturally go to help him but first.....she had to sit here staring with some amount of horror and agitation at the woman who smiled so warmly at her after further butchering information she knew to not be accurate—there were firsties in this class, you know. They were gonna end up believing it because the person set in charge of their education was determined not to be right.

It was a large blow to the Ravenclaw who sat motionless for several moments. She didn’t care what the colourful things were. At all. ”It doesn’t conjure anything.” She repeated quite more stubbornly than most would’ve been used to before slinging her bag over her shoulder and rising from her seat. It wasn’t a conjuring. The decorations duplicated themselves. It wasn’t out of thin air.

Jessa turned on her heels and made for the door, unwilling to sit through anymore for fear everything else would be wrong. Suffice to say the Ravenclaw would rather educate herself.

That was when spotted a large, orange pile of plants under Derf’s table. It jogged her memory, he’d had a plight earlier and everyone was too busy absorbing the wrong thing like sheep or cattle to help. The Ravenclaw lowered the bag from her shoulder, taking a seat on the floor cross legged by his desk and began to vanish them one by one. Her face was set in that defiantly stubborn way, one that spoke to a tide ebbing inside her—a hurricane out at sea. Why would the Professor say such a thing when it wasn’t true? Didn’t she know people would believe her? Some had OWLs and NEWTs, they couldn’t afford to be getting such wrong information even if it wasn’t the focus of the lesson. It wasn’t an excuse.

She was here only til the plants were all gone, then she would go ask a second opinion on this matter.

Cami thought Jessa was going to let it go and they could finish this conversation later. However when the girl packed up her things and got up from her seat heading towards the door, she frowned. Thankfully Jessa didn't walk out but she sat down on the floor and began vanishing the orange straws for Derf. "Thank you for helping vanish those, Miss Cambridge. When you finish please return to your seat and finish the rest of the lesson." This was the only chance she would be giving her. It was fine to disagree with what she said but it was NOT okay to walk out of her lesson.

SPOILER!!: Emme!

"We will be transforming them into something else for our aquariums." What they would be transforming them into was still a mystery for the moment.

SPOILER!!: Ronan & Shayla!

There we go. "This is exactly what we will be doing!" She smiled brightly turning her attention to the entire class.

"Everyone's guesses have been totally on point today! These little balls here are known as Marimo Moss Balls. They are a sponge like type of algae ball and they will be used in our tanks today to help keep our tanks clean and healthy. We will also be transfiguring them into fish." Yes, fish.

"When I say so I want everyone to come up and collect three jars that way you have three moss balls total. One of the moss balls will go right into your tank, water included. You can use the water from the jars as I already have those set for the aquariums. The other two will be used to today's transfiguration part of the lesson." As she spoke she collected herself three jars, one of which she carefully poured into the tank she had set up on her desk.

Taking a large photo off her desk she stuck it up on the board so that it would be seen easily. "Now you can either transfigure one male Betta fish or two female Betta fish. Do NOT do one of each as we do not want baby fish. We also do NOT want to males in the same tank as they will fight one another. The small fish is the female and the one with the much larger fanned out tail is the male." She pointed at each one on the photo with her wand.

"When preforming this transfiguration process keep in mind the gender of the Betta as well as the color pattern. The incantation is Piscifors and all you have to do is aim your wand at the target." Professor Stewart walked back to her desk and aimed her wand at the moss ball inside one of the jars. "Piscifors!" she cast clearly the moss ball slowly transforming into a beautiful male Betta fish, the body being a blue color and it's tail and fins a bright vibrant red.

With a wave of her wand under the picture of the Betta's appeared the information for the spell.

Effect: Turns target into a fish

"Go on and get your jars and get started. I will be walking around should anyone need some assistance."

OOC: It's time for the main activity! They will be using Piscifors to turn moss balls into either male or female Betta fish! Two or three posts for this activity should be fine but you're welcome to have more then that if you like! Get creative with this and have some fun! You have about 72 hours!

Kyle tilted his head as he stared at the thing for a while. Then he finally raised his hand. "It looks planty." Was that even a word? "And plants make oxygen. So does the ball put oxygen into the water?" Maybe that was a herbologist's answer, but it seemed right to him. Planty.

She looked at the green ball quizzically, mouth slightly ajar as she wondered it was. Quickly she closed her mouth. "I don't really know what that is," she admitted, before venturing on to make some guesses. "But it resembles some sort of sponge, maybe a living sponge?" "That's perfectly alright not to know what this is. It is something like a sponge but not exactly, good guess though," she smiled warmly glad that even though the seventh year didn't know she had tried. SPOILER!!: Olivia! Quote: Originally Posted by Watson What was the green ball...? She bit her lip and then paused, eyeing the green ball in the jar. After a moment, she raised her hand and ventured a guess. "Some sort of algae?" she offered with a raise of her brow. By why was it balled up like that? It reminded her of moth balls that her grandparents used to speak about. Camilla nodded. "They are a type of algae," she smiled. What type they would get to shortly unless someone actually knew what it was. SPOILER!!: Derf! Quote: Originally Posted by sweetpinkpixie Er...it seemed no one was keen on helping him with his mess...so...er...maybe he could just stuff some of it into his tank? The professor's words to him, while sincere, went right over his head for the most part. It wasn't a lack of focus...but a lack of ability. It was why he always tended to prefer theoretical unless he could work with his HANDS. Why creatures was so appealing. He really didn't need to use magic as a crutch or anything other than himself. It was...comforting. So...Derf just sorta of tried to hide the pile of bright orange mess at his feet as the professor moved things along - he had more questions about what she had said to Jessa...but mostly the Hufflepuff's attention was on his Ravenclaw best friend and how she would react to it. In all honesty...Derf was worried she was going to try and walk out and then it would be on him to try and stop her. Which he knew would be pointless because Jessa had the stubborn streak of a Gryffindor. But soon enough his attention was drawn elsewhere. To the green ball of moss specifically and his hand shot RIGHT up. "That's a marimo moss ball, professor," he chirped - much to the surprise of many, surely, that he knew something about plants. Dad's forte was aquatic plants. "They are WICKED useful in aquariums and almost indestructible. Like...with proper care they can last for over a century, dad says. They act kinda like little filters...sucking up nitrates and ammonia and phosphates and small amounts of debris. Also give oxygen! Shrimp and frogs like them too...and they are safe for snails..."

She wanted her guardian to be right about everything in class and stuff, but at the same time she still sort of...found it easier to believe kids about things than adults. So she was inclined to agree with Jessa, even if that tugged at her heartstrings a little bit. She was also sad to see the Ravenclaw getting up to leave, but at least the older girl was stopping to help Derf first. Emmeline would've offered her hell but, well....she wasn't all that great at the vanishing spell and stuff. She was also kind of hoping that maybe Jessa would decide to stay while she was vanishing things. She had noo idea what that green ball thing was, and was only a little bit surprised that Derf knew loads about it, since it was a plant and all. She raised her hand and asked, "Are we gonna change it into something else? Or conjure more stuff that the creatures need for the aquariums?" "We will be transforming them into something else for our aquariums." What they would be transforming them into was still a mystery for the moment. SPOILER!!: Ronan & Shayla! Quote: Originally Posted by lazykitty He was fast losing his interest in this class, since it didn't seem like they would be doing anything interesting with the aquariums. Buuuut, points. Points that would keep him in the top point earners for Gryffindor. So, he had to try. "Will we be transfiguring them into fish?" That seemed to be the most logical guess, since this was Transfiguration and he was of the school of thought that Charms should be left to Charms class. Please let them be making fish.

There could be as many different answers as there were students. But she could not linger on the answers for long because it was time for the next question. When the professor pulled the sheet away and uncovered what was on the table, Shay was unsure. At first it looked like one of those foam items that muggle florists stuck flowers into. Upon further inspection, she knew that that was not correct. Her second guess was some kind of seaweed ball. Shay was just about to raise her hand to respond, when Derf gave his answer. She thought about it for a minute. After giving it more thought, she discretely lowered her partially raised hand. His answer seemed to make sense, so she remained silent......for now. Finally, she decided to go with the thought she had at the beginning of class. She raised her hand, this time all the way up. "Are we going to transfigure those into actual fish or aquarium creatures?". It was just a guess, but why not throw it out there? There we go. "This is exactly what we will be doing!"
